What is the PV module price index?

The PV Module Price Index tracks wholesale pricing and supply of crystalline-silicon modules that have fallen out of traditional distribution channels, and as a result are listed for resale on the EnergyBin exchange.

What is PV system cost model (pvscm)?

The total cost over the service life of the system is amortized to give a levelized cost per year. In the PV System Cost Model (PVSCM), the owner’s overnight capital expense (cash cost) for an installed PV system is divided into eight categories, which are the same for the utility-scale, commercial, and residential PV market segments:

How efficient are photovoltaic modules in 2025?

But let’s take a closer look at the figures recorded in January 2025: Photovoltaic modules with monocrystalline or bifacial HJT cells, N-type/TOPCon or xBC (Back Contact) and their combinations, with efficiencies above 22.5%.

Do PV modules lose resale value?

For historical secondary market PV module pricing from 2020 through 2023, download the 2023 PV Module Price Index from EnergyBin’s Resources portal.
